Hello all, haven't had much time to visit this board over the past couple of months as the golf season here in Ontario has been going gang-busters.....

After the cold, wet 2004 season, the 2005 golf season has been a real (albiet exhausting) treat for us operators.

My Ebay sales are down about 50% over last year because I just haven't had time to devote, but after taking into account for Ebay and Paypal fees, I am probably ahead of the game...... Sad commentary when you can net more by cutting down on listings..... However from reading a few of the comments on the Board, it seems that sales have not rebounded for many since last being here.

Honestly, my Powerseller status will probably be in jeopardy in November, but my accountant will be happier as for the past two years he has been wondering why invest the time and energy to have no or minimal returns (I think his comment was I would probably do better by holding a bottle drive, plus the exercise of scouring ditches for abandoned bottles would do me good!)... Anyways, I am venting and that is not why I signed on....

So hello to all of my old Powerseller friends and acquaintances. I will try to check in periodically just to say hi.....

Hi Jeff! Good to hear that you've had a successful golf season - I know it's sure been great golfing weather here on the west coast. We've been getting out 4 times a week and haven't had to miss once yet because of weather!

Sales have been kinda slow in my area too, but that's mainly because I haven't been listing as much as I should and it's getting harder to find the material the collectors want. Common is easy, scarce is a whole 'nother story!

Anyhow, it's really good to hear from you -- we've missed you!
